Alright, here is what i was wondering..

If Player1 (Red) makes a Terran Marine; can I give it to Player8 (Yellow) but keep the Terran Marine keep Player1's color (Red)?

I can't really think of a way to do it. I know if you give a unit to Neutral, it stays color, but you can't give Neutral units to other players(can you? idk hah)

Thanks for any help!

There is no way, except by using Rescuable units, but an entire player must be devoted to rescuable units in order to have them, so it's not really worth it.

You could give it to player 9, 10, 11 or 12 (Neutral) and it will retain its color. Those players respond to trigger conditions and actions (you can give them, order them, remove them, etc.). The down side is that they have weird/no AI.

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

UndeadStar shouted: https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
